They vie to replace Ty

I have only known Janet Schanzenbach for a short time. In that time, I have been very impressed with her wealth of knowledge and leadership skills. She is one of the most caring, compassionate people I have had the privilege of meeting, as evidence of her professional work as a lobbyist for mental health programs.

The combination of her leadership skills, wealth of knowledge in a wide array of public policies and issues, along with her ability to have compassion for people from all walks of life will be refreshing and a needed service to the citizens of North Carolina.

Janet Schanzenbach has a wealth of experience working on policy issues in the field of mental health, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse services. She has a strong knowledge of the budget process and has worked closely with many key legislators on issues related to improving accountability of local management entities and promoting community services for people with mental illness, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse.

Janet has also worked to promote the political leadership of women in the General Assembly through her work with Lillian's List. Janet will be a strong advocate for women, children and citizens with disabilities.

I believe it's Terry "Doc" Thorne (not Thome), the same person currently vying for the District 'A' seat in Cary.

..."vie to replace Ty"? aye yai yai... Did it take all day to come up with that play?

Chris Heagarty will do a great job. He's smart, honest and committed to public service.

While these are all good people, Heagarty is well-respected in all circles, and has worked on behalf of NC voters throughout his career -- everyone I've spoken with says he'll do a fine job.

What does a state legislator have to do with a federal takeover of health care? She would just be another Democratic legislator voting 100% in lock step with Hackney just like Rosa Gill has.

cRAZY PARTISANS IN BLOGS GET IT EVEN IF VOTERS DON'T.

hEY TO pAUL!

Adcock and Danielson are both good folks and would be fine replacements.

Gale Adcock is a fine candidate and deserves this opportunity to serve in the legislature. One need only observe her significant skills in working with others on the Cary Town Council. She is a fair-minded, information-based decision-maker and the town of Cary's loss will be the state of NC's gain.

We need a legislator with a strong understanding of the healthcare issues facing our nation and her medical background would be invaluable.

Words are important. These folks are not running for the office. They are smoozing with the Wake Dem leadership to get the job. District voters will have no choice on who is anointed in this position, just as voters in about half the General Assembly districts have no choice on who is elected in their districts when only one candidate is on the ballot.
